Small works are painted on gessoed tin flashing and mounted onto a homemade floater frame. Some frames are made with special wood trim. Other frames are made with pine and stained with a homemade stain produced from vinegar and steel wool chemistry that brings out the tannins in the wood.
Tin flashing is a building product you can buy at your local hardware store.
